Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) in porous media is proposed to balance seasonal fluctuations between demand and supply in an emerging hydrogen economy. Despite increasing focus on the topic worldwide, the understanding of hydrogen flow in porous media is still not adequate. In particular, relative permeability hysteresis and its impact on the storage performance require detailed investigations due to the cyclic nature of H2 injection and withdrawal. We focus our analysis on reservoir simul…


Improved monthly runoff time series prediction using the SOA–SVM model based on ICEEMDAN–WD decomposition

Authors: Dong-mei Xu, Xiangqi Wang, Wen Wang, K. Chau, Hong-fei Zang

Journal: Journal of Hydroinformatics · DOI: 10.2166/hydro.2023.172 · Citations: 46

Matched topics: runoff, streamflow, hydropower

In runoff prediction, the prediction accuracy is often affected by the non-linear and non-stationary characteristics of the runoff series. In this study, a coupled forecasting model is proposed that decomposes the original runoff series by an improved complete ensemble EMD (ICEEMDAN) combined with a wavelet decomposition (WD) and then forecasts the monthly runoff using a support vector machine (SVM) optimized by the seagull optimization algorithm (SOA). In this method, a series of IMF and a R…

Rapidly increasing industrialisation has human needs, but the consequences have added to the environmental harm. The pollution caused by several industries, including the dye industries, generates a large volume of wastewater containing dyes and hazardous chemicals that drains industrial effluents. The growing demand for readily available water, as well as the problem of polluted organic waste in reservoirs and streams, is a critical challenge for proper and sustainable development. Remediati…

Effects of Two Biochar Types on Mitigating Drought and Salt Stress in Tomato Seedlings

Authors: Wenqian Zhang, Jiahua Wei, Lili Guo, Heng Fang, Xiaojuan Liu, Kehao Liang et al.

Journal: Agronomy · DOI: 10.3390/agronomy13041039 · Citations: 57

Matched topics: drought

Biochar’s underlying biochemical and physiological mechanisms in reducing irrigation and salinity stress are elusive. This paper investigates the effects of two types of biochar (wood biochar and poultry biochar) on the growth and physiology of tomato seedlings exposed to the combined effects of drought and salinity stress. Two types of biochar, wood biochar (WB) and poultry biochar (PB), were added to the soil separately, with three salinity gradients of 0, 100, and 200 mmol/L and two water …

Integration of TADF Photosensitizer as “Electron Pump” and BSA as “Electron Reservoir” for Boosting Type I Photodynamic Therapy.

Authors: Wenlong Chen, Zehui Wang, Mingyu Tian, Gaobo Hong, Yingnan Wu, Mengzhang Sui et al.

Journal: Journal of the American Chemical Society · DOI: 10.1021/jacs.3c01042 · Citations: 217

Matched topics: reservoir

Type I photosensitization provides an effective solution to the problem of unsatisfactory photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) effects caused by the tumor hypoxia. The challenge in the development of Type I mode is to boost the photosensitizer’s own electron transfer capacity. Herein, we found that the use of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to encapsulate a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) photosensitizer PS can significantly promote the Type I PDT process to generate a mass of superoxide…

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will vastly expand measurements of global rivers, providing critical new data sets for both gaged and ungaged basins. SWOT discharge products (available approximately 1 year after launch) will provide discharge for all river that reaches wider than 100 m. In this paper, we describe how SWOT discharge produced and archived by the US and French space agencies will be computed from measurements of river water surface elevation, width…

‘-dioxide, and orthoquinone structures. Standard-verified TPs were quantified in roadway-impacted environmental samples, with total concentrations of 130 ± 3.2 μg/g in methanol extracts of tire tread wear particles (TWPs), 34 ± 4 μg/g-TWP in aqueous TWP leachates, 2700 ± 1500 ng/L in roadway runoff, and 1900 ± 1200 ng/L in roadway-impacted creeks. These data demonstrate that 6PPD TPs are likely an important and ubiquitous class of contaminants in roadway-impacted environments.

Matched topics: reservoir

The development of persistent cellular reservoirs of latent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a critical obstacle to viral eradication since viral rebound takes place once anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is interrupted. Previous studies show that HIV persists in myeloid cells (monocytes and macrophages) in blood and tissues in virologically suppressed people with HIV (vsPWH). However, how myeloid cells contribute to the size of the HIV reservoir and what impact they have on rebound after tr…


A Novel Upscaling Method for Evaluating Mechanical Properties of the Shale Oil Reservoir Based on Cluster Analysis and Nanoindentation

Authors: Meng Siwei, Zhang Zihan, Tao Jiaping, Zhang Chuanqing, Yang Liu, Jianchun Xu

Journal: Journal of Energy Resources Technology · DOI: 10.1115/1.4062248 · Citations: 58

Matched topics: reservoir

Abstract Shale formations as major unconventional energy resources are crucial in satisfying the global energy needs of the future. Via nanoindentation method and upscale method, the macromechanical parameters of shale, such as hardness, elastic modulus, are obtained. The conventional Mori–Tanaka upscale method only divides the data into three mineral classes and fails to fully incorporate micromechanical properties to reflect the macroscale properties of samples. The research measures microm…
